When we moved South and no longer had or 6000 sq ft facility in NY, we
gradually liquidated our warehouses full of rare aero engines, vintage
aircraft and parts. We did keep four tractor trailer loads of vintage
aircraft parts, instruments and our massive aviation library.
To compensate for the absence of the aeronautical and racing treasures
we thinned out, we re-focused on collecting some of the best aviation
art ever painted. We purchased 17 Original Jim Dietz paintings, some
130 Original Hubbell art works (Most of which had been exhibited in
the Smithsonian-Hubbell being the most popular aviation artist of
all time), and commissioned numerous works with Wright Brothers
themes, and added a fine collection of 50 original fine, pen & ink
drawings of WWI British aircraft by the worlds leading
authority, J.M.Bruce, that were done some 60 years ago. Various
other singular gems fill out the art collection
Due to popular demand we had quality prints made of some of the
Wright-themed paintings by Pierce ODonnell, to honor the Wright
Brothers. They are not available from any other source. We hope
that the signed and numbered Limited Edition prints will be choice
collectibles of the future.
Since we doubt there will ever be adequate space for us to display
this entire collection at our home, we are also offering this original
museum grade art to other collectors and investors. We are not too
concerned about which specific items are sold off in
this thinning process, as anything that remains is certainly among the
best and most popular aviation art ever created. Always eager to
discover new and interesting aviation items for our collections, we are
just as interested in trade offers.
